The high-Reynolds number stratified wake of a slender body has been studied using a high-resolution hybrid simulation. The wake generator is a 6:1 prolate spheroid with a tripped turbulent boundary layer, the diameter-based Reynolds number is \(=10^5\)  and the Froude numbers, namely \(\mbox{\textit {Fr}}=U/ND=\lbrace 2,10,\infty \rbrace \) , take moderate to large values. By comparing the spheroid wake with the disk wake of [1]} (referred to as CS20), we are able to study the influence of the wake generator - slender versus bluff - in the establishment and evolution of stratified wakes.
